Commercial Description:
This original amber ale is inspired by the "Steam" style of beer. Whereas a "Steam" is a lager beer fermented at an elevated ale-type temperature, Red Rose is an ale fermented at a lower lager-type temperature. Like a "Steam," Red Rose combines a crisp lager refreshingness with a robust ale fruitiness. A lovely citrus-pine hop character is present from start to finish.

(12oz bottle) Large off-white head atop clear amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, earthy, plum, some toast, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, earthy, raisin/plum, some caramel, light orange. Smooth light-medium body, some stickiness.

Bottle from PC Market of Choice in Eugene, OR. Amber color with a creamy off-white head. Light and airy aromas of citrus and pine. Near full bodied with almost chewy carbonation. Flavor is spicy caramel with lots of citrus and resin hop. Flavors stick til the finish, which is dry and awesome bitter - but tingly rather than harsh. Just most brilliant. Every sip is a treat.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts and citrus hops. Light but balanced. Flavor is also light with caramel malts and citrus hops. Flavor doesn’t linger as long as I thought it would. Good but not great.

355 ml. Foggy, dark ruby-tinted copper color with a three-finger creamy head that lasts well. Big aroma of caramel, citrus hop, cocoa, grape and apple. Taste has not quite so much depth: more resin, wood, tea leaf and citrus than the aroma indicates, with a slight caramel-apple note. The blend of these flavors leaves a long finish of bitter resin and toasted nut. Medium body is watery, a tad too fizzy, and finishes almost astringently dry. Wow, the look and smell of this one is great but the taste and mouthfeel just don’t hold up their end. A nice brew that is much better than Anchor Steam, but somewhat of a tease that disappoints after the exciting foreplay. Not really worth the asking price ($4.99).

Taste 7/8 Bottle(date?) Looks: Amber body, nice thick creamy head. Aroma: Crisp. Spicy and floral hops. A little sour and sweet. Taste: Medium bodied. Fresh, hoppy and smooth. Very crisp and spicy, with a nice malt layering. Somewhere between an ESB/Premium Bitter and an IPA. I enjoyed it. Both sour and malty, with lots of citrus and spice.
